His OpInion of Tennesseeans.

Correspondence of the Cleveland Leader.
There was a curious creature in the
interior department yesterday. He had a
white sombrero hat slouched down over
his eyes. His partaloons were tucked in
his boots, a. red flannel shirt showed
out between his V-cut vest, he walked
with 8 stamp and came angrlly out of In
dian Commissioner Atkins room. His
face was red, his eyes blazing and he was
evidently Tery angry. The first man he
met was 6 bare-headed clerk, an limo
cent looking and rather timid man,
who was carrying bundle of papers
TO Secretary Lamar. The cowboy of the
West stopped him and asked this strange
question in angry tones: "Say, did you
ever know man from Tennessee who
was not blank, blank fool?"
The poor clerk looked up in Amusement
and horror, and then glanced up TO see
whether the room of the Indian bureau, in
which the Tennessee Indian commission
er sits, was open. When ne found 1t was
shut ne didn't wait TO answer, but rushed
off as though in fear of his head. The
cowboy had had fuss with Atkins about
some Western land, and this was one Of
the ways of easing his Indignation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. l3-S. D. Will
son, conductor of the train wrecked on
the Missouri Pacific extension near Dun
bar, Neb., yesterday, says he had fifty-two
passengers aboard the train at the time.
Their escape from death was miraculous.
The engine landed fifty feet from the
track and the baggage car, STRANGELY, was
carried as far beyond the engine. The
throttle lever was forced through En-
gineer DeWitf's right lung and his face
was scalded black. The express messen-
ger is frightfuly wounded. His skull is
badly fractured. Every bone in his face
is broken. Among the passengers hurt
Is Mrs. Armstrong, wife Of the superin-
tendent OF the asylum for the feeble
minded at San Francisco. A dispatch
from Nebraska City advances the theory
that the motive for the crime was rob-
berry, there being Sl7 ,000 worth of bullion
on the train. The theory is discredited
here, however. An official of the
roads'say there is Io evidence that the
work was ipstigated by auy' Knights of
Tabor organization, but that the AMI
mostly of the ex strikers toward Dewitt is
well known.
A special from Wyandott, Kas, the
home CT the dead engineer, says DeWit's
friends openly charge his death to the
Knights of Labor. It appears that he

MnsIcIans in New York.

New York contains about 800 orches-
trail players capable of taking part In
musical performances of the highest class.
Mr.. Thomas orchestra at the festival in
the Seventh regiment armory in 1882
contained 800 players, and DIR Damroschs
of the year previous $50 In both cases
musicians were brought from other cities,
because it was. of course. impossible TO
command the services of all the capable
players in New York for these monster
occasions; but there are the number men
toned of good orchestral musicians In
the city. Counting all the members of
military bands, theatrical orchestras, ma
kers of dance music, and others in hum
bier walks of the art, the musical popula-
tion foots up over 5000 1t is doubtful
whether any city in the world contains So
many musicians as New York. or pays
the better class of them so well. Many
make sufficient money during the regular
season of nine months. from September
TO June, to enable them TO devote the
summer to rest aud relaxation. Dozens
of the leading players go to Germany in
the summer to revisit their old homes,
for the vast majority of tie professional
musicians of America are German by
birth. Native born Americans have not
as yet come to look upon music as means
of livelihood. New York Tribune.

A Generous remembrance.

Not long ago wealthy citizen of Bos-
ton departed this life leaving several
children, but no widow, his wife having
died some years before. His estate was
very large, amounting, / believe, to more
than half a million dollars. BY his will
he left three-quarters of this property to
his three children, in trust, and the re-
naming one-quarter he bequeathed to an
acquaintance who now lives in New York.
There had been no particular intimacy
between the two men, and almost every
body who knew them was exceedingly sur
prised that the bequest should have been
made 1t is hardly necessary to say that
all kinds of explanations were advanced
by the world, most of which involved some
scandalous relation between the two per-
sons concerned.
/ happened to know che true solution of
the mystery. Many years ago-how many
do not care to say-the Boston man had
offered himself to q beautiful girl, who
refused him, and subsequently married
his less prosperous rival. In course of
time the rejected suitor also married, as
men do, and, dying, he took this means of
adding to the happiness of his old love,
who was sorely in need of the money.

A Curiona Old Custom.

Another curious old custom relates to
births, and the towns of Harlem and
Medemblik alone own with pride its right.
In 1878, when the Spaniards took Haar-
lem after its famous siege, they sent no
tice that all houses wherein lay a mother
and new born babe should have their
knockers muffied in white for a month
and so escape sacking. Thenceforth births
in HARLEM are celebrated by what has
now become an ornament on the door,
called a "klopper." Hugo brought forth
their family one to show me-a square of
lace with his coat of arms finely en-
broidered and edged with fine old Mech
lin. This is lined in white for girl, half
in pink for boy. Fastened over wood,
it was hung out by day and carefully gof-
fered again at night. The Jews-the
plague here of all curio understanding
out every bit of old silver, lace, china or
carving in cottage or family seat, came
shifting around his chopper with vainly
large offers for the Mechlin when last it
was hung out.-Holland Cor. New York

Tne EQUALIZATION Of the sexes.

The epoch discovers a curious aspect
of our modern literature to be that while
women, intellectually speaking. are be
ginning to show a certain masculine
power, men are beginning to develop
certain feminine characteristics. such as
expansiveness, exaggerated delicacy Of
expression. and tendency to gossipy
analysis of trifes. While women are
climbing the stairs of intellectual pro-
gress men are descending by the ladder
of gossip to sit by the fire and play with
painte1 trifles and fantastic toys This
is all right 1t is time the men were hav-
ing rest any way.-St. Paul Globe.

saloons what was called the individual
chafe' You were allowed TO stew your
own oysters The proprietors brought to
the table after you were seated a chatting
dish, an alcohol lamp, milk, oysters,
crackers, seasoning, etc., and you pre-
pared the stew to suit yourself. 1t may
not have been exceedingly profitable, but
it was popular. Night after night a
party of us would have eur regular stew,

well to introduce his method again. -
